Lateral Tibial Plateau Reconstruction using a Pedicled Patellar Transplant in a Male Patient with a Recurrent Fungating Giant Cell Tumor
Abstract
Reported here is a surgical approach to a recurrent fungating giant cell tumor in a 35-year-old male. The patient presented with a lytic lesion on the epiphysis extending to the metaphyseal area of the lateral tibial plateau. Reconstruction was done using a pedicled patellar transplant following an extended curettage of the affected area. This was augmented with a suture anchor, a non-vascularized fibular strut graft, synthetic bone grafts, and soft tissue reconstruction.
